A new year....

It's Sunday morning, I was as usual up at about 7 AM. Back to work on sorting out the logic behind generating unit test code packages based on the test definitions in my new product, Qute (for more information, check out www.unit.test.com - warning: the product is not yet available, but I should have a beta ready in the next month).

It is sunny and, well, sure: WARM! here in Chicago. It is in the 30s and that is nothing to complain about. We had a cold December, but it looks like global warming is reasserting itself. Over the past 23 years of my life in Chicago, I have seen the winters get more and more mild (less snow, less extremely cold temperatures).

My wife figures Chicago is going to be hot real estate in the future: abundant access to fresh water (though not necessarily very clean water), away from the coasts that seem to be increasingly battered by massive storms. Tornados hit around us but never in the city itself.

Ok - I did it! I posted a note to kick off the new year, in my new blog that has a profile and everything. So more to come...hope your new year will be wonderful and rewarding!

My father-in-law sold a house in Lincoln Park last year following the passing of his mother. Had circumstances been different we might have moved there ourselves, despite all the things I've said about big city life after ten years in London. a short walk to the local pub, to the coffee shop, to the wonderful and free zoo ...
